    Default Brakes... I think

    I'm getting a scraping sound from the brakes, sounds like the rear passenger side. sound only really comes whilst braking at low speed and breaking whilst reversing, just took it out on the industrial estate near me to see if it does it whilst "emergency stopping" from 30 only did it once out of 3 times but nearly all the time at lower speeds, any ideas? and more importantly would it be covered by the warranty it's an 07 life standard brakes.
    thanks in advance
